House Republicans unveil drug plan with $350 billion cost
The GOP plan, priced at about 350 billion over 10 years, would require most seniors to pay a 35 monthly premium and a 250 yearly deductible. Government coverage would be 80 percent on the first 1,000 and 50 percent on the next 1,000, with a 4,500 out-of-pocket cap. The bill aims for passage in the House this week, targeting a July 4 debate, as Democrats push a higher cost plan.
